Q

What is the vertex of a parabola?

A

The vertex of a parabola is the point where the curve changes direction, representing either the maximum or minimum point of the parabola.

17
Q

True or False: The vertex of a parabola can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a) for the standard form y = ax^2 + bx + c.

18
Q

Fill in the blank: The vertex form of a parabola is expressed as y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) represents the ______.

19
Q

In the equation y = 2(x - 3)² + 4, what are the coordinates of the vertex?

20
Q

What is the significance of the vertex in relation to the axis of symmetry of a parabola?

A

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry, which divides the parabola into two mirror-image halves.
